No. IBM has a general strategy to "suck you in"
so caveat emptor...... You really wan to install
IBM binaries on any machine? (Think NSA).

Nagios has been under numerous stresses for
quite some time, for a variety of reasons, imho.
Forking, Borking, and Porking out is what I see
of Nagios; ymmv.
jffnms is well written, modular and quite responsive
to the individual's (organization's) needs, imho.
All in source code form.
Last time I checked, there was a new (recent) ebuild
for jffnms. Patches are easy to apply and I think
(Gentoo) folks are starting to use jffnms much more.
Check it out, most are happy with it, and find it
easy (particulary with SNMP 1,2.3) to install and extend.
Specific software stacks probably need specific (customized)
monitoring (hacks) tools, that are modified form existing
open source solutions?
Here's a solution, cheap and clean using htop:
htop | recode utf-8 > test.txt
cat test.txt
Surely a little research and you can some cool hacks?
